when the doctor tells him he’s pickling his liver, then abruptly refuses to appear on camera again, that should have been a pretty serious giveaway.
I haven’t even clicked the link yet and I’m already laughing at “I bet I can jump down all these stairs and land on my side!”
I always found it really weird how he was puking on day 1. Alcohol being in the mix makes so much more sense, guessing he was either hungover as fuck or just drunk when that happened, probably also didn’t try to fight it as much because his drunk ass thought it would make his point better, but even when I first saw it, it hurt his credibility. And especially when combined with that big mac dude, figured reality was more complex than he was presenting.
I still avoid McDonald’s, but because it’s one of the shittiest fast food options based on my own experiences (I’ve never been satisfied from just one meal from there while A&W or Wendy’s can satisfy my hunger), not to mention their patties are pretty sad and unappealing IMO.
We had to watch the first part of it several times over in school and I don’t really understand what the point was. Usually got started in the lesson and then the lesson ended but it would never get finished later.
What, eating vast quantities of fast food every day is bad for you? Of course it is, are you fucking retarded?
As someone from the long long ago, it’s funny seeing this post. For my generation, this has the same vibe as “of course smoking is bad for you”, meanwhile the generation before mine was saturated in tobacco smoke and normalized tobacco culture. Sure, there was always an undercurrent that it was bad, but there wasn’t the vehement rejection of it like today.
You could go back further again and do it with something like not wearing seatbelts. The value of seatbelts is obvious now, but it wasn’t always part of the zeitgeist.
The same goes for fast food. We knew it wasn’t great, but healthy eating awareness was hardly a thing back then, especially compared to what it is today. It is precisely because of things like Supersize Me raising awareness, (even ham-fistedly in retrospect) and changing the culture, that we get to call out that shit as obvious today.
You had to be there. You’re welcome.
